Detoxification diets, herb based therapies, and specialty products aimed at ‘recharging’ the liver and cleaning the gastrointestinal system (GI) have captured the attention of today’s consumer, becoming a multi-million dollar business. Promised benefits include ‘toxin shedding,’ weight loss, enhanced GI functioning, purified organs, increased energy and wellness, parasite removal, and a host of other positive outcomes; however, rarely are the dangers, problems, or contraindications for vulnerable populations mentioned. Accordingly, the purpose of this webinar is to familiarize registered dietitians with the spectrum of available detoxification therapies, and review scientifically validated information regarding the mechanisms of action, associated risks, reported adverse outcomes, and reviews of efficacy of these therapies.
Objectives
- List the various categories of detoxification therapies available to the U.S. consumer.
- Differentiate between scientifically accepted versus non-validated mechanisms of action, screening techniques and reported benefits for select detox therapies.
- Identify our current state of knowledge and resources regarding associated risks, reports of adverse outcomes and reviews of efficacy.
- Recall physiologic functions of the GI system and liver, as pertinent to detoxification therapies.
